link IS IT GREEN?: Designer Totes

I’ve got a pack of eco-bags, including some custom-made just for me (with the 2050 logo!), but I recognize that many are not manufactured at the most sustainable standards.  For example, Anya Hindmarch’s wildly popular “I Am Not A Plastic Bag” totes were made from conventional (non-organic) canvas, with cheap labor in China.  Inhabitat rates other popular designer eco-bags.

The thing to keep in mind here, though, is that while organic and fair-trade is better than not, if you use the bag religiously and banish plastic bags from your life, you’re doing alright.
